The article investigates whether Duolingo, a widely used mobile language learning application, helps language
learners overcome speaking anxiety. The research synthesizes findings from pedagogical psychology, educational technology
studies, and second language acquisition theory to assess whether and how Duolingo’s design features can
address common sources of speaking anxiety. The analysis indicates that, although Duolingo offers certain anxiety-reducing
benefits through its private, low-stakes practice environment, it has significant limitations in fostering authentic
communicative competence and providing real-time speaking practice
